I agree with bobkn, it shouldn't be a problem. The heat sink and fan is on the side away from your RAM slots. The worst that could happen is you'd have to remove the card to open the clips to replace a RAM module. Not a big deal in my books.

The card will miss the RAM for sure, but I'm not sure for to fit in your case
2. The PS is a bigger problem. Don't know your wattage, but at least 550W (must be top quality brand ) is needed for it to run safely-even though the specs say 500W is min. From the pictures, i see that your power supply has only one 6 pin connector, but this card needs 2!

If you don't want to change your PSU, and risk the card, you can buy this molex-to-6pin connector.

The card will definetly fit in the mobo, but you are going to lose the PCIE x1 slot, and I see that you have a card in that.
You can use ribbon extenders to pipe that connection around, and place the card outside the motherboard, just bolted to the case in the free slots.
Check the card physical size and see if the case is big enough for it, and take a pic of the writings on the PSU (the box in the top right in the first pic), as I suspect (Like most others as you noticed) it isn't good enough for that card.

Shouldn't be in the way of RAM as the new card has all components to the other side of the PCB, just like the current one.

That's a aluminum heat sink keeping cool something under it. It is very likely cooling the motherboard's chipset, the component that connects everything, from CPU to GPU to whatever, the motherboard's heart so to speak.
No tampering with it unless you know what you are doing, besides, it should be low enough to not annoy a card over it.

Measure the height under the current GPU once it is clear of the PCIE slot, if it's higher than that heatsink it should be fine (as that height is standard)
